Grace Vicca, a 60-year Harrison resident, was impressed by their performance.

Theyre young gentlemen  theyre good, she said.

Another fan was Nick Gisondi, James and Christians brother, saying that they have come a long way since their start.

Oh my God, they got so much better  their singing, the way that they play their instruments, the way their music is written have all improved, said Gisondi.

Their concert precedes The Sundown Bands 7 p.m. performance Thursday night at The Village Green. Franze is thankful that the concerts are still around for residents to enjoy. He was quick to thank Gerry Salvo, superintendent of the Harrison Recreation Department, and Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont.

Gerry Salvo and Ron Belmont continue to keep these concerts alive. There was a time when there was talk about them being stopped because they werent drawing the crowds, Franze said. But these two guys have kept the concerts alive and look what they do for the townspeople. You got a band downtown, you got a band on the other end of town on Thursday nights, and its just a beautiful thing to have in the town.
